Inhalt:
Due to the increase of the switching speed of power devices, the impact of the gate driver parasitic capacitances has a influence on the dynamic behaviour in the switching cell. Here, the study is focused on the dynamic behaviour for series-connected SiC-MOSFET devices: a predictive model that considers the parasitic capacitances is developed and compared to simulation results. Then, experimental results validate the proposed modelling.
